Postman Compatibility

The current version of postman-runner is compatible with the Postman Collection v2.1 format. However, the support for certain global variables in test scripts introduced in the latest version of Postman (i.e. pm) is not yet available. There is a git issue (#10) open for it and we will add support for this as soon as we can.
